Roger that Ranger AbnRgr289.

Ranger RgrKing, my running schedule is as follows:

Long run day, 2 miles
Rest Day
Sprint day (sprint 1/4 mile, walk briskly 1/4 mile x6)If I fail to beat my sprint times respectively, I must repeat.
Rest day
(Repeat)

The regiment I am following calls for a second day of rest after every third interval. On the rest days I am doing Sit-Ups, Push-Ups, and Pull-Ups, as well as personal training sessions once a week for the next 5 weeks. I will increase the length and duration of my runs every 2 weeks until BCT.

Drew, a man has only one opportunity to make a favorable initial impression. You have had several, and each time you show you have potential. If you want to earn a place in the 75th Ranger Regiment, you came to the right site. Here, we take some pride that we have been assisting young men, like yourself, prepare for service in the Ranger Regiment. You obviously want to make some life changes -- that's good. When you enlist, you begin a new life, nobody cares who you are, who your parents are, nor does anyone care where you went to school. your success is based on your achievements. Please tell us(in 250 words or less) what you hope to accomplish by serving in the Ranger Regiment; frame it in what you have been doing since you graduated from high school. Please complete this task by midnight, Sunday, 16 December 2007. Never, never quit!!!

Hey bud, the only time you're EVER going to run 2 miles on this journey is during your PT test's before Batt.

Your long run should be a minimum of 5 miles.

My Section Sarnt used to take us on a 10 miler around the impact area BEFORE our PT test's. That's right, the 2 mile standard just became 12 miles, you must be prepared for gut checks, because you will get them, everyday.

For training to get there gradually go up in mileage. Don't over do it and ruin your body right away. Wait for the Regt to do that for you.

Hope you don't mine me not waiting till Sunday to post. I saw the assignment as a priority and had extra time to do it today.


Community college seems the route of anyone not committed in their four years of high school. The burden of my well-being has fallen upon my grandmother, something I wish to undue. Working in the best retail sales position around, at best, seems to only sustain the present, without providing a means for personal growth.

In the finest Army in the world, the desire to serve with the best is something I am naturally attracted to. Finding family, brotherhood, and trust, within men of an inviolable faith to each other whom together focus on the task at hand to seemingly defy logic and natural principles of possibility calls upon me. Many tasks which outsiders would assumingly deem impossible, together, to these men are undoubtedly attainable. Finding anyone not wanting to be a part of that seems more the impossibility.

I wish to push my limits and challenge myself, taking the noblest of paths any man could embark upon. Only death is certain, and before my time comes I hope to make a difference in a world filled with so much evil. Everyone wants to live with the opportunity and privileges that freedom provides yet so many squander at the thought of providing it. Not I, as I wish to help provide it to the many. When my service concludes, I will enjoy that which I helped provide and begin a family with a solid foundation for life forged with principles the Army and its elite Rangers have bestowed upon me.

Attention to Detail

Post by F50LRRP »

One of the Hallmarks of a Ranger is paying attention to detail. If you don't intend to continue your education at a community college, at least use a spell check program and Gramatik.

In your last two postings I noticed the following:

"The regiment I am following" You aren't following a regiment, you are trying to be accepted by the best one. You are following a regimen.

"Hope you don't mine me not waiting till Sunday to post". The correct word is mind not mine.

"assumingly". There is no such word. Assuming is the correct usage of a word that you were trying for. BTW, Rangers won't usually use any form of the word assume because to assume makes an ASS out of you and me.

There were several English usage problems in your short paragraphs, too.

Yes, besides being a LRRP/Ranger I was a college professor. :D
